Time again for my expert number crunching to determine who is to blame for me having no bowl game to watch.
These numbers compare us with baylor. They tied for the conference championship yet our numbers are eerily similar. Just a few stats that cut out all the noise.
All figures are per game and conference play only. No Stephen F, San Antonio and Rice to pad their stats.
baylor TCU
57 net yards 59
11 victory margin -0-
1.4 turnover margin .1
84% red zone defense 90%
53% red zone def. TDs. 61%
All the other stats were so similar they weren't worth mentioning. We had great kicking, missed one FG all year.
We moved the ball and stopped people about the same. They got 1.3 more net turnovers per game. Average victory margin seemed to be the result of their measurably better red zone defense. That surprised me.
After all that, bu was 4-2 in 3 point games (at the end of regulation). Both losses to OU. We were 1-3 in 4 point games (end of regulation). 1-4 including smu.
Probably the biggest difference was they had a senior QB and we had a freshman. But oh so close.
Hope this helps. If you don't agree with me, I don't care.
